Rugs to Drool Over

The soon-to-be new First Family posed on the cover of New York Magazine on a Nazmiyal rug so I figured if it’s good enough for the Obamas, it should be good enough for the rest of us. I fell in love with the many colors and patterns, and love to think of the stories these antique rugs could tell if they could talk. While they don’t list prices — probably a sign this is beyond my pocketbook — it’s still fun to dream. This one is an antique Khotan Oriental from East Turkestan that I particularly loved.
